Growing up in the Bay Area, Sara played a lot of sports and had a lot of sports injuries. Sara also had a lot of physical therapy, and got to know the school physical therapist. Inspired, she went to Boston University’s five-year physical therapy program, under which she earned the Bachelor of Science in Health Studies in 2002 and the Master of Science in Physical Therapy in 2004. After working a few years, she then added the Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2007. Sara also became a personal trainer in 2003 and has certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Out in the real world, Sara has specialized in outpatient orthopedics since 2004, in practices located in Boston, San Francisco, and New York.

She is also trained in many specialized manual techniques, such as the Kaltenborn Method, Kinesotaping, and the Dontigy Mobilization Technique. In addition, Sara has educated many runners, both novice and elite, to develop effective training programs. While she's not working, Sara loves to exercise, run, and snowboard.
